Although the process took a while to completely understand during the initial months of the simulation, the team managed to adjust, learn quickly and finish in 7th place with a cash balance of $1,501,794. For the purpose of this report, we have divided the simulation into seven stages after day 50, explicating the major areas of strategically significant decisions that were made and their resulting effects.

...Financial Analysis My analysis on this paper was derived from this year’s numbers of both companies because I wasn’t able to get their averages because of data limitations. My paper contains information about the attempt I made in analyzing the biggest corporation in the beverage industry and these are PepsiCo, Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company. The type of analysis I did was vertical analysis which others may know of as a common-size analysis. Using this technique means that every item in the financial statement is expressed as one part of another base figure. The equations used in my analysis include the assets account and its base account which was Total Assets, liabilities and stockholder’s equity had its base as their stockholder’s equity and total liabilities, last, income statement had its base containing the accounts for their net revenues and sales. In this paper is my version of a horizontal analysis, it involves and evaluation of all the financial statements I have a hold of over the course of time. Behind this analysis is a purpose and it determines all the changes that took place in those figures over the years.

So the collection of data is very important, it comes in handy when making a conclusion, doing calculations such as range, median and modes. So the types of descriptive data that could be used to describe and summarize this particular data set. When considering the problem previously address both types of descriptive data can be used. For instance, with the My voice of the customer survey based upon how often a customer has to call back if that is ranked in the 30 percentile meaning that at least 30 percent of all the customers that called on one given day called back within 48 hours we are able to calculate the range of callbacks therefore we are able to calculate the average amount of callbacks on a given day. However, the most effective method that would be used of course would be finding the Median, Mean and Mode so that we are able to find the average reason for customers calling back within forty-eight hours and also the average My voice of the customer score coming from these particular customers. By these customer being routed to a special team of operations to assist this can also help to determine the feedback given by the representatives to help better assist the customers. Know because inferential statistics come from the sample to the population and determine the possible characteristics of said population based upon the sample.

...Executive Summary This paper shed light on the reasons behind First Farms Corporations’ deficit in its operating cash flows and its decrease in Return on Equity (ROE) despite having a 40% increase in sales and 89% on net income. The objective of the paper is whether the management should recommend pushing through with the planned expansion of the chicken business as well as the feeds business. After having analyzed the financial ratios and SWOT of the company, it has been decided that it is better for the company not to push through with the expansion. Despite the promising increase in sales and net income, its inventory has been problematic as it showed an inverse relationship with its sales which is where we can trace back the deficit in its operating cash flows. It is recommended that the company seek better implementation of how it disposes it inventories as well as collect its receivables, find alternatives as how to handle increasing cost of production, and study its business environment. This could be the best alternatives that the company could do until they are in shape again to continue with expansion plans if the need arise again in the coming years. II. Point of View For this case, the point of view of the Vice President for Finance of First Farms Corporation (FFC) will be used. III. Case Context The First Farms Corporation started in the 1950s as a small animal feeds manufacturing plant with 15 employees in Caloocan. Since then, the company...

...understand a patent is to understand how a patent is infringed. So, we know the power of the patent is in the claims. This is where the inventor defines his or her patent rights; his or her ENFORCEMENT rights. So, let’s try to infringe some claims. We’ll use a simple example. Let’s imagine we can get a patent on anything. Let’s get a patent on a basic chair. Imagine a world without chairs…pretty scary…all we can do is sit on rocks. Not comfortable. Hard to move around. So, we invent the first chair. And we know we’re on to something. Everyone will want to buy this. So, we go to a patent lawyer and get a patent. Here is the claim. (Visually display the elements) • An apparatus for sitting comprised of • a seat, • a back, and • four legs. All of these elements make up one independent claim. And this would be a great claim. It would come at the end of a patent document which could be a few or even dozens of pages of text and drawings describing how to make it and how to use it. (Patent visual running through page after page of drawings then text…then narrow in on a claim). What can we do with this patent… with this claim? Well, first, in our scenario, let’s pick a country. We need to do that because each patent is only useful and enforceable in the country that issued it. So, for simplicity, let’s say this is a US patent, and it wasn’t filed in any other country. Which means it’s only useful and enforceable in the US. (Visual of a globe...
